Colin Watkinson Discusses The Emotional Cinematography of THE HANDMAID’S TALE

“COLIN WATKINSON’s work on THE HANDMAID’S TALE won him the Emmy in the Outstanding Cinematography for a Single-Camera Series Emmy (One Hour) category in 2017 and has gotten him nominated again this year.

“I feel like we’ve continued to grow with the show while maintaining the style we set out with in season one,” observed Watkinson who this time around is a nominee on the strength of the “June” episode. “It all comes down to the emotional sense we create. The piece I put in for this year’s nomination is not the best looking cinematography but it is incredibly emotional. The cinematography is not picture-perfect beautiful but it works in terms of the emotion of the story.”
